Law and Order This week, one of the most-commented stories on OSNews was the story about how 'Maxxus' cracked/hacked (take your pick) the Intel version of Apple's OSX once again. This sparked a lively debate over whether we should encourage Maxxus, or condemn his actions. I made myself clear from the get-go: I condemn his actions. Note: This is the Sunday Eve Column of the week.

Does the existance of the CDDL prove that the GPL was effectively having an affair with the MPL? Because that line of reasoning makes about us much sense as your LGPL proves the GPL is a EULA argument.
